Our shop is on FM 2351. We install your neighbor’s floor next week.
Elite Coatings is headquartered at 4650 FM 2351, Unit 309 B, Friendswood. Justin Thurmon built the company here and runs every Friendswood install himself. When you call, you get a local owner. When we walk your slab, we’re already your neighbor.
Systems we install next door to the shop.
Friendswood is a mix of 1970s-era slabs near Friendswood Drive and brand-new developments off West Bay Area Blvd. Every neighborhood has its own slab story, and we’ve installed across all of them. Here’s what we actually do in town.
Flake Epoxy Garages
The daily workhorse. Chip-broadcast flake hides tire marks, reads slip-resistant underfoot, and handles hot-summer and cool-garage-floor humidity swings. Most Whispering Pines, Forest Bend, and Sunmeadow garages ship flake in earth-tone or charcoal blends.
Starts around $6 per square foot. One to two days install, next-day foot traffic. Flake system details.

Mirror-gloss pearlescent finish, unique to every install, and the most technically demanding system we run. Common in West Bay Area Blvd and Clear Creek custom homes where the garage is part of the presentation.
Starts around $10 per square foot. We seal the work zone, run HEPA filtration, and stage a dedicated mixing corner. Metallic details.

UV-stable polyaspartic and exterior specialty systems. Slip-rated, color-stable under Texas sun, flexible enough to ride slab movement. Great fit for older Friendswood Drive backyards and newer development outdoor kitchens.
Interior epoxy will chalk and peel outside within a season. We install purpose-built exterior systems only for outdoor work.
Get an Exterior Coating QuotePolished Concrete for Retail & Light Industrial
FM 518 and FM 2351 light-commercial and retail. Multi-step diamond grinding, densification, burnishing. The slab is the finish floor. No coating to peel, life-of-the-building durability when the slab is prepared right.
Starts around $5 per square foot. Scales well across larger commercial square footage.
Polished concrete detailsConcrete Resurfacing for Older Slabs
Some older Friendswood slabs want resurfacing rather than a coating: a cementitious overlay smooths pitting and cracks, then a penetrating sealer extends the useful life. We scope this on-site because it depends on actual slab condition, not a guess.
Request Resurfacing InspectionSolid Color Epoxy
Clean, flat-color finish for home offices, storage rooms, workshop floors, and small commercial spaces. Chemical durability, easy cleaning. The trade-off is that solid color shows dust the most, so we install in sealed conditions.

The Elite Coatings shop is at 4650 FM 2351, Unit 309 B. Justin Thurmon runs it, and he still walks every Friendswood residential slab himself. The estimator is the installer. The installer is the owner. There is no middle layer, no salesperson, no “we’ll send a crew out.” You get the owner’s phone number and the same two to three installers from estimate through final walkthrough.
That neighborhood continuity is why our Friendswood warranty callbacks across five zip codes are nearly zero. If something isn’t right, you call the shop. Justin answers. We show up and fix it. That’s the whole workmanship warranty in one sentence.
The floor installer around the corner.
We had two quotes from out-of-town companies. Then we realized Justin’s shop was a mile from our house on FM 2351. He came by on a Saturday, walked the slab, wrote a detailed scope, and the crew was in our garage the next week. The floor still looks installed-day clean three seasons later. That’s what local means.

What your neighbors usually ask first.
Where is the Elite Coatings shop exactly?
4650 FM 2351, Unit 309 B, Friendswood, TX 77546. Between Friendswood Drive and FM 518, near the Clear Creek side of town. Stop by if you want to see sample pieces and actual cured floors in person; we keep a few set up at the shop.
Will Justin actually be on my Friendswood install?
Yes. Every residential install in Friendswood has Justin on site. Every commercial job over 3,000 square feet has him on the moisture test and on the prep walk-through. The crew is small by design so the person who writes your estimate is the person who grinds your floor.
Do I still need moisture mitigation in Friendswood?
Often, yes. Friendswood sits on clay soil and isn’t far from the Clear Creek drainage. A real percentage of slabs in town read wet enough to need a standalone moisture mitigation layer. We calcium-chloride test every slab and show you the reading before we write the final number.
What does a typical Friendswood garage cost?
Flake and solid color start around $6 per square foot. Metallic starts around $10. Polished concrete starts around $5. Every number assumes proper diamond-grind prep, a moisture mitigation layer when the slab needs it, and a commercial-grade polyaspartic topcoat.
Can I see an installed floor before I buy?
Yes. Our gallery has recent Friendswood installs. We also keep demo boards at the shop, and on residential walk-throughs we often bring a sample kit so you can see actual flake blends and metallic pigments in person rather than on a phone screen.
How fast can you get on my Friendswood calendar?
Same-day response by phone or contact form. On-site walk-through usually within a few business days. Actual install scheduling depends on the week but is typically one to three weeks out for residential, faster for small projects where we have a cancellation.
What’s included in the workmanship warranty?
A specific, written scope of coverage given at contract signing. It covers installation defects and adhesion failure for the stated term. We don’t sell “lifetime warranties” because the epoxy industry has no regulation and those promises vanish with the company that made them. Our warranty is backed by a local shop that’s been working the same Friendswood zip codes since day one.
Do you do exterior work and driveways?
Yes. Pool decks, patios, driveways, walkways. UV-stable polyaspartic and specialty exterior systems. These are a different product line from interior epoxy. Interior coating outside will chalk and peel within a season, so we don’t install that at exterior sites.
